At some point around the beginning of Adolin’s trial, the honorspren began to construct a holding cell that could accommodate a human, so that when Adolin was convicted and sentence, he could be put on display in Lasting Integrity, as a reminder of the damage caused by the Recreance.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
Blended and Adolin pushed for a trial by witness, as it would be the most favorable strategy Adolin could adopt, due to his poor understanding of honorspren legal code.{{book ref|sa4|78}} When Kalak returned from his patrol,{{book ref|sa4|78}} Adolin approached him at the gates to Lasting Integrity and made his request. Although [[Sekeir]], a prominent honorspren elder, opposed the idea, Kalak granted Adolin’s wish.{{book ref|sa4|82}} Despite Adolin’s objections, the trial would be held in the stronghold's forum and would be open to the other occupants of the keep.{{book ref|sa4|82}}
The first day of Adolin’s trial saw the forum packed with honorspren. [[Amuna]] was the first witness to be called and gave a damning statement against Adolin framed around how her position as carer of the deadeyes was a result of the actions of humans, and should be a reminder of the dangers of forming [[Nahel bond]]s. Blended was the second witness for the day and spoke of how her people remembered the loss of [[Knights Radiant|Radiant]] inkspren and how it had affected her society. Notum was called as the third witness and had been given a script to read from by the other honorspren. Halfway through his pre-written speech, Notum diverged and began to speak his true feelings, siding with Adolin which led to him being forcibly removed from the room. Notum’s outburst had a profound effect on some of the honorspren, who took up his rallying cry and had to be pushed from the room by officials.{{book ref|sa4|87}}

|Adolin is right. He’s always been right about you. Tell me. Who is the strongest of mind? The woman whose emotions are always on her side? Or the woman whose own thoughts betray her? You have fought this fight every day of your life, Shallan. And '''you are not weak'''.

Lasting Integrity is dedicated to caring for any [[deadeye]]s that they find around the fortress or in the area.{{book ref|sa4|87}} They only have a limited amount of space, however, and if too many deadeyes make their way to the keep, the [[honorspren]], reluctantly, have to turn them away.{{book ref|sa4|75}} The inhabitants of the fortress do preference taking in deadeye honorspren if they are forced to limit the number of deadeyes they can care for.{{book ref|sa4|87}}
